All these talk about pre-mature wear & prospect of an early re-soling [in the other forums] prodded me to snap a couple of shots of my commandos.
Reason why I don't think much about [it] … Trickers Matrons= 5yrs; Vibergs= 2yrs & unworn [from the NYC sample sale] :: Maltons need a re-heel & Loden Green boots re-heeled last week__ both commando sole stitches holding out valiantly … not even a single stitch breakage
RedBrick Dainite on Trickers Allan @1yr= approx no more than 3mos of wear__ stitches @sides & tips already wearing in.
Profile-wise: Commando vs Dainite__ similar, cuz the raised grips on the Commandos are indented from the sole edges.

@Finkster , @chiverus , @trail and arrow , @Bluegrass - Thanks!!! It's sort of taken over as a hobby at the moment…
@BrownIcon - Mine are fully lined, so I'd think the stretch potential is pretty low. They do soften up, though. The "Waxed Flesh" leather is just waxed chromexcel roughout, I think, which is known for being stretchy. I think it's the lining that's going to prevent a lot of stretch.
Those are fab!
Very nice collection. Btw, how's the [[b]stretch potential] on the derby leather? Mine are still new & stiff, right now__ length is good, just hoping to stretch the vamp a bit, as they soften up from wear.
